Theyre the best 'bang for your buck' mod I have done to either of my stangs. As long as you dont mind being glued to the seat in every gear, than get 3:90s. 4:10s would be fun too... but first gear would be absolutely useless. 3:73s wouldn't be enough.

Pokageek said:Here's first hand experience:
It was a night and day difference going from 3.55 to 3.90. It felt like the car went from just ok, to TEAR up the road and always ready for a fight, lol. I am not kidding either.
PLUS it revs out just enough to have excellent power in 5th but not too high. I am glad I didn't go 4.10 or 4.30 because 200 rpm does make a difference on the hwy to me. But that's my o' with my combo. I understand that some of you don't care how high you rev and just drive you r car on the track anyway and that's ok too. Personally, I would only go to 4.10 or higher if I had real sticky tires, drove track more than street..4.10's are great for 1/4 mile-ers...Now gas mileage....
It don't make no difference but 1-2 mpg no matter what gear you go to unless you are going higher than 4.30. The "lose lots of gas mileage" myth is just internet B.S. ( my experience is with 5 speeds)
Synned said:Hey guys,
I hate to be beating a dead horse but..
I am about to get gears. I found a shop that will do 4:10's installed for 400 (including gear).
They will charge more for 3:90's because Ford doesn't make the gear.
I'm fearing the gear.
My car is my DD. It is also an automatic.
It is my understand that t5's have much lower ratios than AODE's. I want a fast car.
I think I'm going with 4:10's. The guy at the shop asked what I had because originally I was going with 3:73's, after I told him it was an auto he said they strongly recommend 4:10's. I DO want teh best SOTP feel.
